Andy Murray has suffered another setback after crashing out of the Australian Open Men's Doubles in the first round in Melbourne.

The 18-year-old Scot teamed up with fellow teenager Novak Djokovic, of Serbia & Montenegro, in Melbourne.

Murray also went out in round one of the men's singles when being beaten in straight sets by Juan Ignacio Chela, of Argentina.
